Coil issues... TJ coils on a XJ .. something odd maybe

What do you guys know about coil springs? Here’s my question… The front of the cherocar looks fairly ok but I was looking at the front coils a little closer this weekend.. The bottom maybe 4 coils are collapsed on each other…. Should it be like that?

TJ coils have a lower spring rating then cherokee ones.

I'm running TJ coils and they don't look like that. I did get about an inch or so less lift than what a TJ would.

I have a pair of V8 grand cherokee coils that look just like that and mine are proggresive rate but my coils are on the top that are real close, maybe they are upside down mine only collapsed like tat when flexing
